Hi all, I was kind'a wondering if it is possible to dual bool on android based cell phones with operating systems like Ubuntu and Android. Its just a thought, but I guess its possible, but I'am more concerned about the after effects of this thought.

lol, thanks but I already googled for that, and as I said I'm concerned about its aftereffects, coz ubuntu is going to launch its mobile os soon, and I thought only single os will work on a phone, dual booting isn't possible(but that was just a silly thought). So basically what I want to ask is, what should I do in order to make my cell dual bootable, does it needs to upgrade my cell or it'l work on my galaxy s2 normally?

Dual booting is possible and it has already been done on many devices. You can dualboot on the Galaxy S2, Dualboot Cyanogenmod 10 + Stock TW 4.1 for example. For dualbooting to be supported by your phone it has to be implemented in kernel level. You can find many custom kernels on xda-developers for your S2. Dual booting will be possible for Ubuntu and Android, as Ubuntu Phone OS' base is Android.

I did it on my Nexus 7 using these instructions: http://bit.ly/R6WBsc
As kinda pissed me off after awhile. Full OS's are NOT designed for smaller devices, or things without a mouse. Eventually went back to the original system.
AND ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR STUFF FIRST!!!

Icon, he means Ubuntu Phone OS, not the full desktop version.

Gotcha. Saw dualbooting and thought back to this page. Didn't the phone OS also suck? Haven't played with that yet, so don't know to much about it.

Ubuntu phone OS is just useless. It requires a very high-end phone and the interface is just ugly.

well I just wanted to dual boot my galaxy s2 (for a better practice I guess, I'm not gonna stick to that OS, lol).

Yes KevG is right, it's Ubuntu's phone os for which I'm talking about.

Nah Kulverstukas, it doesn't need high-end specs. I tried out an alpha version of Ubuntu Phone for my 2 year old Galaxy SL (1ghz singlecore sgx530 gpu) and it works, but not smoothly yet (no HW acceleration+RIL +no some other shit). I'm sure it will run as flawless as current CM10 builds run on the Galaxy S2, as Android is the base for Ubuntu Phone OS which I said earlier. The Galaxy S2, even though now old, is still a very powerful device so don't worry pune :)
